A new
post from Ubisoft takes a look at post-release content plans for Far Cry
5 and what will
be included in the season pass for the upcoming first-person shooter sequel. The
season pass will include three DLC packs, and
this trailer takes a
look at what to expect from them. Word is: "Picking up the Far Cry 5 Season Pass
will grant you access to three new adventures: Hours of Darkness, Lost on Mars,
and Dead Living Zombies. In the first, Hours of Darkness, you'll be thrown into
war-ravaged Vietnam and have to fight your way through enemy forces, rescue
POWs, and try to evac amidst the chaos. The second, Lost on Mars, will see you
traveling to the red planet to wield futuristic weaponry in a jetpack-fueled
fight against insidious aliens. Last but not least, Dead Living Zombies places
you and a co-op teammate at the whim of a B-movie director, who cooks up seven
different scenarios that pit you against hordes of undead horrors." They
also offer
this look at Far Cry Arcade, the game's map editor mode, and how closely it
will integrate with the game.
This trailer looks
at that, and here are more details:

Far Cry Arcade is Far Cry 5's map
editor mode, and it's bigger, more versatile, and more packed with content than
it's been at any point in the series' past. The first Far Cry map editor to
enable players to create their own solo, co-op, and PvP levels, Far Cry Arcade
is a chance for players to crack open the game and use its assets to build their
own customized adventures and experiences. Far Cry Arcade's goal is to make
these custom maps as accessible as the campaign, and one way to accomplish that
is to integrate them directly into Hope County – and your character's
progression.

"We've really pushed hard this time to make it a much more integral part of the
Far Cry experience, and to really give it its own identity," says Clark Davies,
lead game designer on Far Cry Arcade. "We're going to make sure it's more
visible than ever. Not just in our menus, but in the campaign itself. We're
going to put arcade booths all around our campaign world in places where it
makes sense. And then on top of that, there will be posters all over the game
world, which will be simple portals to quick-launch you into our best featured
maps."

Walk up to an arcade machine in a bar, for example, and you can jump straight
into Far Cry Arcade, check out the latest user-created levels (which will be
curated by the developers), and start playing. You'll visit these worlds as the
same custom deputy you play in the campaign, and any experience points, perks,
or money you earn while playing will cross over into the campaign when you're
done. (And no, that doesn't mean you can just create a "level" filled with cash
and make yourself rich.)

The DLC where you are an actor in a terrible B-movie zombie flick sounds like it could be a hoot. There was a DLC for Saints Row 3 that did this; your character was cast as the lead in a terrible Syfy original-type aliens movie. It was hysterically funny and a friggin' blast to play.

Yeah, have to admit that's some pretty decent content and the map editor sounds good too. Shame about the Far Cry 3 Classic edition just being a re-release though. I was hoping it would be a remaster or at least running the same engine version as Far Cry 4/5.
